If we're truly going to war for the security of the United States, we need a Declaration of War from Congress. So what's the big deal? Is it too much to ask, expecting our elected representatives to follow the law?

They may not have "declared war" but Congress did give the President authorization to go after Saddem

Hello, Mo1.

Yes, the President was given Congressional authorization to decide whether he wanted to go to war with Iraq in the name of the United Nations.

I have a problem with the President having say-so over whether to go to war, I have a problem with Congress meekly offering the power to the President, and I have a problem with the official reason for war being based on the interests of the United Nations .
